Crystals would be sweet. Kind of like that ele earth skill where rocks float around you in a circle but maybe a little bugger. They would also make more sense with glint and it being crystal related.
Agree with the OP… although I think completely removing the circle is not really necessary. What we need – maybe just as an option for those that love the current OTT effect – is removing the pulsating center of the current glyph ring. Or maybe just stopping the constant strobe effect. Or lowering the brightness A LOT.
Just please do something about it.
I swear that slow pulsation hurts my eyes more with each passing hour.
Why does anyone want the circle to stay? It is objectively the most horrific looking effect in the game with how badly it stretches over different level terrain.
The circle is literally the best part of the expansion. Sometimes when I’m feeling down, I just boot up the game, activate some facets, and it just brightens my day up again. If I could, I would quit work and school and stare at it 24 hours a day.
The circle is really jarring and stands out within the GW2 world, in a bad way. The dragon graphic on it is terrible. Sorry to whomever designed it, but it is absolutely appalling to look at, within Guild Wars 2. It looks like the kind of thing a beginner with Photoshop would draw and it stretches on different surfaces.. ugh.. no, please ArenaNet, re-design that hideous monstrosity. I liked the idea of floating 3D crystals of some sort.
My biggest issue with the circle is its opacity. Makes my herald the only toon that I have trouble with on jumping puzzles. If the circle didn’t blot out the terrain entirely, I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it.
I really like how facets are and the sound effects that come with them. I don’t want anet touching any other animations after seeing the latest changes of “reduced noise”, because they will end up removing the entire thing.

It’s laughable anyone thinks that effect is fine as it is. Look at that beautiful stretching.

It’s called an opinion, better get used to it. Personally I love the design, but I could do without the sound, and I understand why people would want them gone. An option to toggle them would be the only choice.

It’s the fact that people think it is fine right now and doesn’t need to be changed at all they think the stretching is fine by saying that. Those are the people I don’t understand.
I think you all are acting very dramatic towards something that, functionally, makes no difference.
It affects gameplay because the effect can cover red circles and cues for certain skills or abilities.
Except it doesn’t cover them. The red circles still show up bright red over the top of the aura.
Except it’s hardly noticeable if that is indeed the case, during Teq my herald is the only character I cannot properly see red circles, I can see them just fine on any other character I play on.

Well I’m sorry you can’t see the bright red circles. I certainly don’t have trouble seeing them. Like I said the only proper solution to this is for anet to add a option in the graphics setting to toggle the visuals.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Rich people pays crazy money for Picasso’s paintings, while I think they look like crap. You dont like it, fine, but dont tell others what they should like or dont like.
